Target URL is not well-formed ERROR in Selenium

Question

This is my URL in object repository file

URL = https://www.google.co.in/

And this is my code

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
 driver.get("URL");

Getting error - Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Target URL URL is not well-formed. Command duration or timeout: 43 milliseconds

Answer 1

Selenium's driver.get method expects the argument to be a URL, not a string. What you've entered is a string which is why the error has occured.

Try

driver.get(URL);

or simply

driver.get("https://www.google.com");

Answer 2

In repository...URL is already defined as String...so just use URL without quote...e.g.

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get(URL);

If error didn't resolve through this...try

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
System.out.print(URL);
//driver.get(URL);

Verify whether URL contains the proper url which you have defined in object repository. Hoping this should resolve your issue.
